The scorching sun was in the sky, and within a few moments, the matchmaker was soaked with sweat.

The fallen wheat grains were still drying in the yard.

The cuckoos and cicadas chirped, making people irritated.

Shi Yi sat down carelessly in the courtyard, looked at the matchmaker, and suddenly changed from his fierce look before, and his tone became softer: "Don't be afraid, lady, we are here just to ask a few questions. That’s all.”

"My sister Hua'er once sent a letter home, saying that she would stay at your home temporarily to recuperate. Actually, we two brothers were passing by on this trip and wanted to express our gratitude to you."

With that said, Shi Yi took off a bag of broken silver from his waist and threw it to the matchmaker.

The matchmaker shook the weight and was both ecstatic and a little frightened: "It turns out to be Hua'er's girl? She actually sent a letter home, and the slave family didn't know about it. Oh, Mr. Lang is so polite. We didn't know. , it turns out that Hua's daughter has an elder brother in her natal family? She has never mentioned it? She clearly said that she is an orphan..."

Shi Yi: "She ran away because she was dissatisfied with the marriage her father told her. She didn't want us to find her, so how could she tell her true life story? What a stupid girl. She said she was an orphan. Look. I found her, why don’t I take care of her!”

The matchmaker persuaded her nicely: "That's the case, it's a good thing. Girl Hua'er is really confused. When we took her in, we thought she was really pitiful..."

With that said, the matchmaker silently accepted the silver coin.

Shi Yi asked again: "Oh, what a pity! Since that letter, she has never sent another letter home. Madam, I wonder if you still know Hua'er's whereabouts after she left your house?"

Shi Yi revealed in his words that he was here to find his sister.

The matchmaker replied: "I'm really sorry, gentlemen. After Hua'er recovered from her illness that day, she left our house in a hurry. We don't know where she is now."

When Hua'er not far away heard these words, the color on his face completely faded.

Shi Yi sighed: "That's a real pity. In this way, we two brothers will stop disturbing you."

After Shi Yi and Yang Hu left, the matchmaker's child came back dragging his father.

"Where are they? Where are the people who are looking for trouble? Where are they?"

The matchmaker and her man are known as Zhang Ermazi.

Zhang Ermazi rushed back with a pole, but when he saw that there was no outsider at home, he thought that the child had deliberately deceived him.

Just when he was about to give the child a beating, he was hurriedly stopped by the matchmaker.

"Master, look at what this is?"

When he saw that it was a large bag of silver, Zhang Ermazi's eyes widened.

Perhaps the couple were afraid of being seen by the neighbors, so they quickly entered the door with their money and child in their arms, and closed the door before speaking.

They didn't know that after they closed the door, Jiang Wancheng and his group had quietly walked around to the back of their house. In this way, everything they said fell into Jiang Wancheng's ears.

"Hahaha, it's all silver, it really is all silver!"

Zhang Erpazi was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. The couple counted them and found that they were thirteen or two in weight!

The matchmaker also sighed: "I didn't expect that Hua'er's brother would be so generous. It turns out she has some wealth."

Zhang Ermazi: "Then... didn't that embroiderer lie to us?"

Matchmaker: "Bah! What kind of good thing can she be? But she came to our house back then. At that time, our family had just taken in Hua'er, and Hua'er was still ill. She said that Hua'er had money on her, so we could swindle it. ”

"But what about her? She wanted us to do something, but she couldn't bear to pay for it. We are quite conscientious, and we didn't talk about it, so she really managed to maintain her health."

"It's a pity that we didn't get even one tael of the fifty taels of silver she sold herself to."

"However, today we have finally made back our losses. This is money falling from the sky!"

Zhang Ermazi: "Why do I feel uneasy? Did you really send those two brothers away?"

Matchmaker: "Don't worry, they are really gone. I can see that they have gone far away."

Zhang Ermazi: "You said... they are here to find Hua'er. If they know that we tricked Hua'er into a brothel, will we still have a good life?"

The matchmaker seemed to be frightened, and after a while she said: "The embroiderer asked us to do this, and we were also deceived by her, thinking that the painting was an escaped slave who betrayed his master. She deserves to end up in a brothel... How did we know that she is a good family member? She has an elder brother at home? "

As soon as he finished speaking, the door banged loudly and someone kicked it open from the outside.

Zhang Ermazi and Matchmaker screamed in fright, and quickly hugged Yinzi and the child into their arms.

"Who!? Where did this madman come from!?"

Zhang Ermazi stood up and cursed angrily, but when he looked at the strong man entering the door, his hands couldn't help but tremble a few times.

The two of them took a closer look, and the matchmaker immediately recognized them: "It's Hua'er's two brothers!"

"And I!"

Hua'er walked out from behind with a gloomy face, while Matchmaker and Zhang Ermazi stared at her as if they had seen a ghost.

A moment later, a scream came from the room. It was Zhang Ermazi. Even if he had a pole in his hand, how could he be able to defeat Shi Yi with a fist?

The matchmaker was kowtowing outside while admitting her mistake: "It's me who's greedy for money, it's me who's greedy, it's me who's obsessed with ghosts, and lard that's blinded my heart! Sister Hua'er, please spare us!"

"Now that you have escaped, we have also received the retribution we deserve, so just let us go. At any rate, we took you in in the first place. You just saw that we took good care of you." In terms of love, you might as well do it..."

The matchmaker took the child and kowtowed hard to Hua'er. Within a moment, blood oozed from their foreheads.

Hua'er stared at the two of them, her eyes slowly turning red.

"girl……"

Although Hua'er didn't say it clearly, Jiang Wancheng already understood what she meant.

She naturally respects Hua'er's decision.

Jiang Wancheng looked at Yang Hu and said, "Shi Langjun, please stop."

Yang Hu: "Yes."

Yang Hu quickly ran to the door and knocked on it, and quickly stopped in the house.

After a while, Shi Yi carried Zhang Er's pockmarked body to the yard and threw Zhang Er's pockmarked child on the ground.

This second pockmarked boy was really not unjust for being beaten.

Hua'er still had a few taels of silver with him, half of which he went to see a doctor, and the other half of which he had deceived.

In fact, if they didn't lie to her, Hua'er would also give them some reward, and Hua'er had always been grateful to them, treating them as family members and being somewhat close to them.

But now, she was once again betrayed by her 'relatives'.

Hua'er's heart was torn apart by the pain of being tortured.

"You and her are playing tricks on me! Do you still want me to let you go?"

Hua'er laughed 'haha', with tears on her face.

"That's great...that's great!"
